Re: For Keith and Michael
It's great !
What I like (apart your playing and the amed sound of that guitar) is your heavy ability to use loops and tell your "story" without loosing the musical flux (...and eventually being boring).
Musical skills apart (for example, you are using very nice chords round the tonal centre) and focusing just on your looper set-up, can you explain your "strategy" in using tracks in this particular song ?
For example, it seems to me that you are using a specific track for the rhythmic section, while new material is recorded on a different track.
Maybe a track is "dedicated" just to the double speed parts ?
Dont' remember if the LP1 has the next track/previous track EDP features. Do you prefer working with loops or with tracks ?
Can you explain it ? I'm curious.

I just posted this video I recorded yesterday on a Zoom Q3 of an improvisation that bears influence form both Keith Jarret and Michael Hedges, The Hedges influence is obvious, but the Jarret influence is more in spirit than style. I was deeply effected by his Koln Concert recordings in my early twenties. I wanted to play the guitar the way he played the piano, with that flowing lyricism, range of emotion, and fearlessness to start an idea and see where it takes you. I still want to.
I'm using the looperlative's quantize replace function a bunch, which is highly addictive but great for generating percolating note sequences, not to mention happy accidents and left turns.
